"Secretary Han, is the hotel business here so good?"

On the way back to the State Guesthouse, Carter couldn't help but ask:

"It seems that this is no longer a problem of good business. It should be a serious imbalance between supply and demand in the hotel industry! Why don't any businessmen open more hotels?"

"Because now...even those who are doing business here are not wealthy. There is no technical threshold for running a hotel, but the capital requirements are very high!"

"Just like a hotel like that, with three floors, it costs at least 20,000 yuan to buy such a house. In addition to adding beds, bedding, labor, etc., without 30,000 yuan, it is impossible to open it. And now in our country

Individuals with deposits of more than 30,000 yuan are too small..."

Under the bridge pier outside the car window, a figure is slowly falling...

Han Xue, who had a clear view of this scene, had no emotion on her face. Because she knew very well that it was not someone who fell ill or had an accident.

There was simply no place to stay! So I just found an open space and slept in the open for one night.

If it were winter, Han Xue might be worried, but in summer...

This has become a normal phenomenon!

"Please help me sort out information on your country's hotel industry these days!"

Carter, who also saw the scene outside the window, did not make any comments, but said calmly.

If Huazi and Maotai were published on the plane before, they were all the beautiful aspects of this era. Then whether it was the people under the bridge pier just now or the crowds huddled together in the small hotel, they were all the dark aspects of these years.

one side...

These are things Carter can't see in movies and TV shows!

He yearned for the simple era in movies and TV series, the era full of passion and hope, but he didn't yearn for these at all...

The next day, under the escort of Squad Leader Wang, Carter came to Tsinghua University again.

As a person with a smile on his face and a hard-working heart, Carter would not go to the teaching building! There is an English corner in the student activity center, which is also the cafeteria. When interested people come, he will accompany him

They talk.

Tsinghua in 1981 was still Tsinghua, and there was actually a lot of English literature. Most students, except for the 1977 and 1978 classes, which may be a little more difficult, there was almost nothing that the students in the latter two classes could not understand.

Just to use a word from the past life to describe it, there are more question writers in small towns, and their oral expression is not as good as the future paper kings. What I can do is to create a language environment, that's all!

In the process of getting along with the students, Carter also saw many hardships under the filter of film and television. For example, the cafeteria uses a bathtub to serve meals, and there is no special insulation bucket at all; for example, many students bring their own dry food and hand in

Help the canteen to heat up the food. When it's time to eat, just eat a couple of pickles and deal with it if you can, etc...

Even when meal time comes, there are not even enough tables in the canteen. Many people have to take their lunch boxes and squat on the roadside outside the canteen to eat...

But even in such a difficult environment, Carter never heard a single complaint. Whenever night fell, social dances, poetry readings, literary salons and other activities would be held in the cafeteria, and almost every day was different!

Following Carter, who had attended a ballroom dance, and looking at the clear smiles on their faces, unknowingly, a trace of envy and a trace of longing for a Yale career emerged in my heart...

"Mr. Carter! The leader of the school-enterprise cooperation project has nodded. You can sign the agreement tomorrow. The property rights of the stores in Wangfujing and Xidan have also been transferred, and I have received the registration forms that need to be filled out to apply for foreign investment offices.

.Wait and I will guide you to fill in..."

After the third day of his trip to Tsinghua University, Carter, who had just returned to the hotel, heard the good news that Han Xue had brought back.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work! You can put these aside for now, I will get them later. Well, have you found the information related to the hotel? Can we foreigners open a hotel?"

After briefly looking through the numerous forms in his hand, Carter felt a little dizzy.

The form-based information alone includes: foreign-invested office establishment registration form; corporate legal person application; office representative contact form; corporate contact registration form; legal business opening certificate issued by relevant units where the company is located; approval certificate issued by the Ministry of Commerce, etc.

etc...

From some perspectives, if you want to do business comfortably in China, lawyers who are familiar with these terms and conditions are also indispensable. But now...

Go back and fill it out slowly by yourself, and prepare slowly!

"I've found it! I won't read the past. Let me report to you the recent situation. In 1978, the Municipal Hotel Company was established. At that time, there were only 142 hotels in BJ with 10,506 beds. The average hotel was less than 74

open."

"In 1979, the number of underground hotels renovated using civil air defense projects began to increase, which slightly alleviated some of the difficulty in staying in hotels. However, as of now, the number of registered hotels in the city is less than 500, with less than 70,000 beds."

Twisting the broken hair around her temples, Han Xue sat down next to Carter. While introducing, she pulled out the corresponding documents:

"In addition to the scarcity of numbers, unreasonable distribution is also a headache for us. You see, this is the Mentougou Hotel. It is more than 60 miles away from BJ Station. Just take the subway. After arriving at Pingguoyuan Station, you have to

It takes more than ten miles to get there. In addition to this one, there is also this one...this one..."

"This is a simple distribution map I drew. It can be seen from the map that about one-fifth of the hotels are outside the urban area. However, these suburban hotels, in terms of individual stores, are generally smaller than

The hotels in our urban area are larger! Because these hotels are basically newly built in the past two years, and the hotels in the urban area are all hotels left over from a long time ago..."

"How many beds do these suburban hotels provide? Hotels in urban areas cannot be expanded. Is it mainly an economic issue?"

Looking at the map that was obviously hand-drawn, Carter was a little moved...

In such a big bj city, you tell me there are less than 500 hotels?! There are not even 70,000 beds?! What is a blue ocean market?! This is the blue ocean market!

After hearing this, a noun instantly appeared in Carter's mind: Homelike!

The hotel industry's low technical threshold and high financial threshold are a perfect match for my current situation.

The low technical threshold means that it does not require a sufficient talent reserve. Front desk, cleaning, etc. can be easily recruited! As for the ability of store managers...

In this environment where there is not much competition and demand is basically greater than supply, as long as the store manager does not drive away customers, it will be difficult for the business to fail!

The current market environment gives hotel managers ample time to grow!

High financial threshold...

I am now worried about not having enough money to spend my tens of millions! The most important thing I don’t need is money!

"The most important thing is the economic issue, and the second thing is... it's a resettlement issue..."

"The property rights of a large number of our shops, including houses, belong to various units and factories, and the residents inside are also employees of the units. If you plan to open a hotel, you must also consider the resettlement of the original residents before buying their land.

.”

"Our corporate employees here are different from those in the United States. In the past, they were guaranteed jobs and housing. Many of them are veteran employees who have worked for decades. You can't just say that you just drive them away and leave them alone!"
Chapter completed!
